Former security branch police officer Joao Rodrigues will be back in the High Court in Johannesburg on Friday morning, in connection with the 1971 murder of anti-apartheid activistThis is after a 1972 inquest ruling that Timol had committed suicide by jumping from the 10th floor of the then John Vorster Square Police Station was reversed in the re-opened 2017 inquest. Judge Billy Mothle found that Timol died at the hands of the security branch police.

Rodrigues is facing charges of murder and defeating the ends of justice. He is currently out on bail of R2000.
